Location: Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Hotel: Sosua Bay Hotel
Date Visited: February 2 – February 9, 2004
Price Paid: $871.00 each plus tax. Booked eleven days before departure.
Room#: 3702 – very good view, but no balcony!
Weather Conditions: Warm and sunny.
Restaurants: Food was VERY good.
Snorkeling: Good, but need to walk down to the far end of the public beach and snorkel from there.
Opinions/Tips: A lot of stairs at this resort (114 from the beach to our room). Jacuzzi was very large but not hot. Swimming pool was quite cool, but a great infinity pool with a wonderful view. The beach directly in front of the hotel was small, and a poor area to go in swimming (large coral and rocks). You can walk down the public beach where there is a nice sandy shoreline. You must take the shuttle to the Cararete beach as the kite-boarding and windsailing is amazing to watch.
Snorkeling: Good, but need to walk down to the far end of the public beach and snorkel from there.
Would I Return: Yes, if the price was right because of the food and the snorkeling; but No because of the beach in front of the hotel.
